Eleven packaging mantras by Sriraam Selvam

Kural 1.

A merchant's best merchandise

Is tending other's goods as his own

Kural 2.

Be a technologist among the technologist,

Be an expert among scholars

But pretend to be silent among the gossip mongers

Kural 3.

What won't they do to strangers

Who broadcast their customers fault

Kural 4.

Learn well what should be learnt, and then

Live your learning

Remember: The great hide others' faults

Only the small talk of nothing else

Kural 5.

A good mind is an asset to everyone

While good company contributes to glory

The great avoid the low in whom

The low find their kin

Kural 6.

Orators who wish to do good

Should study the occasion with care

Those are poor orators, unavailing

Who speak without knowing their audience

Kural 7.

Act after taking into account

The cost, the benefit, the net

It is not wisdom to lose the capital

For the sake of interest

Kural 8.

However well versed in books

Be practical

Kural 9.

The wise know what comes next -

Fools cannot.

Kural 10.

His body needs no drugs who only eats

After digesting what he eats before

Kural 11.

Be born if you must for fame: or else

Better not be born at all

The great do the impossible

The mean cannot do it.

A world conqueror bides his time

Unperturbed
